Oops! Sorry, I forgot you make the real thing too. They are very pretty.

Hey Sam, first of all, that is fantastic! But, I couldn't figure out
how to use your code with the Wings method that I use. So I came up with a
different version that I've been working on continuously. Please see the
attached and let me know what you think.
Secondly, (and it should have been first), I'm *so sorry* that I
haven't replied any sooner, and I really appreciate your advice. I think you
know that. I don't mean to be rude in not replying, it's just that I've had
some serious home problems lately although it may not look like it by myself
posting around the groups recently.
Heck, you know what I mean.

If there are any big rocks in the stream/river, dig deep *in front* of
the rocks. It's those rocks that stop the big nuggets. ;)
Try to use a fishing 'Bait Pump' too, very useful. Fill some buckets,
and take them home to siv. ;)

You never stop, do you?? :-)
You have a very nice, complete set there now. Oh! I miss a tiara!!
My crystallography courses are so far behind me that I don't remember the
name of the special mirror symmetry you have used in the horizontal part of
the necklace. Not that it matters, but it nags the rusty ball bearings of my
mind so to speak...

Heh, I try not to Thomas... :o)

Ha, funny enough, I've got to make a silver tiara for a friend, but with
ivy leaves instead, so you'll see that fairly soon.

It's called 'Flip' in Wings... ;o)
Seriously, I wasn't aware of such a term, so I'll look into that.
